And because a lot of votes were cast in favour of Tories to support Brexit, it makes me feel rather unwelcome, even if I have a British passport.Galina Varesehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10113049600313050157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1957058303175978721.post-8933075558513066392019-12-19T20:20:06.115+00:002019-12-19T20:20:06.115+00:00Thank you, Sarah, I imagine your tree looks lovely...Thank you, Sarah, I imagine your tree looks lovely.

I know a few (being in a farming area which is staunchly tory), but they're also largely older people who aren't on social media, and those who are didn't say anything because they were being bullied for their views. I was still surprised by the size of the majority.<br /><br />Interesting that your town is suffering. Everyone on our town's FB page moans about yours as one of the places nearby with free parking which they believe hasn't helped our town (ours is the only one in our district and nearby which charges parking 100% of the time til 7pm).

But, at th...I was surprised by the results as well. But, at the same time, I'm not surprised that Tory voters don't share their views on social media. A person I follow said she voted for Tory and a few asked her why, like she should justify her choice. With the amount of vitriol online, why would anybody put themselves into a storm of hatred, telling people who they vote for? Is just not worth it. I saw all this from outside, as I couldn't vote.<br /><br />I disagree with you when it comes to Debenhams. Many businesses are doing good, regardless of austerity or uncertainty with Brexit, so their policies can be blamed for their failure. I bought from Debenhams a few times and I never had a pleasant experience, with the exception of the cafe (Patisserie Valerie). They sent me a broken dehumidifier and asked me to pay to have it returned. I don't think that was even legal from their part. The only reason I bought again, after the dehumidifier incident, was that it was the only place that sold the specific vegan make-up I wanted, and even that didn't go well.<br /><br />My Christmas tree is a colour-schemed one. I like the idea of having ornaments with a meaning and a story and I think they are great, but is just not the kind of tree I want at home.Ancahttp://ancaslifestyle.co.uk/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1957058303175978721.post-26868986169749416452019-12-15T21:10:55.091+00:002019-12-15T21:10:55.091+00:00I don't know anyone either, it is strange.

I was gobsmacked by the huge majority. <br />Love that you have so many memories with your Christmas decorations - my husband and daughter banned me from putting anything that wasn't even silver or red on our tree this year.<br />I think the Top 9 are usually based on likes.

How is that even possible. <br />A Christmas tree full of memories are way better than organised one's which look like they should be on display in a shop. <br />Ohh! I'm off to have a look at my top 9.<br />It is shame about the shops shutting. Those mannequins do look quite eerie. <br />I LOVE that Friends Lego set!
